A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends upon independent variable s. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation. The dependent variable is sometimes called the outcome variable.. In a simple mathematical equation, for example: a = b/c. the dependent variable, a, is determined by the values of b and c.
Honey and Pregnancy. Pregnant women can safely eat honey. An adult's intestines are more acidic than a baby's and contain beneficial bacteria that prevent the spores from developing into botulism-causing bacteria. Adults -- including pregnant women -- are frequently exposed to botulism spores without becoming ill.
Honey may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Honey may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in people taking drugs or herbs and supplements that lower blood pressure. Honey may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's cytochrome P450 enzyme system. Use cautiously when the origin of the honey is unknown, due to possible toxicity. Use cautiously in people who have heart conditions, nervous system disorders, and stomach or intestine conditions.
